THE CONDUCTORS STORY.
My car, you know, was number thirty
And by the crossing she would waiJ
Each day found her sure as fate.
All me, with what pretty motion
She waved her dainty little glove
loved at sight-and I'd a notion
That she returned my ardent love,
grew to look with heart a-beating
To see her standing coyly there
And passion thrilled my tender greeting
Whene'er murn.ured Miss, your fare.''
But now, 1 vainly try to blot her
From out heart of miseree
For she was but female spotter-
Sit still, my soul-she spotted me!

DECK HUNTING IN THE BAYOUS
disappearance of Mallards andsTeal-
HOW Professionals Hunt.
New Orleans Cor New York Sun

nIsappearance of Mallards and.Teal-
HOW Professionals Hunt
New Orleans Cor New York Sun.l
The only explanation of the disappearance
of the ducks from their former haunts near
the city is the destruction of the feed-wild
celery, water cress, wild rice, etc. During
the past month these plants have died in
such quantities that the ducks have fed to
other feeding places, and those that remain
behind are remarkably thin and have a
fshy flavor. The unusually low water in the
river and in the swamps, in consequence of
| which most of the lagoons are dry, may have
something to do with the disappearance
of these swamp plants and the flight of the
ducks
The ducks have retired deeper into the
swamps, and Lake Leray and Bayou des
Allemands have become the hunting grounds
for mallards and teal The latter is one of
| the oldest hunting grounds in the Union, and
| the supply of game is apparently as mex
| haustible to day as it was century and a
| half ago, when the Dutch hunters from
| whom the bayou is named supplied the town
| of New Orleans with ducks. There are over
| four hundred professional hunters or Bayou
| des Allemands alone, and from the single
station of Bayou des Allemands, on the
| Southern Pacific roads. no less than one
million ducks were shipped to New Orleans
| last year, and as many as twelve thousand
| in single day. The average number killed
each year by good professional hunter is
| seven thousand.
The professionals hunt in parties of from
1 ten to thirty, and have regularly organized
| camps in the center of the swamp. They
| have their rude huts built in the higher
| patches of ground, and running from their
| houses for miles back in the prairie are
bitches that they have cut and which they
keep always open. 1t is through these mini
ature canals that they push their pirogues
| when searching for ducks. Both sides of
the bayou are complete networks of these
J bitches, running in all directions. The
| most rigid observance is maintained of the
| rights of ownership of these canals. 1T is
| this that prevents amateur hunters from ac-
| complaining much in the way of shooting
ducks, as they have no use of these canals
and are unable to force their pirogues or dug
outs through the thick matted grass every
| where covering the swamp. Even the
professionals find this grass very trouble
some, and more than half the ducks killed
are lost in it. Nearly all the best hunting
grounds in the bayou have thus been taken
up, and the amateurs are left only the
outlying districts, where ducks are few and
the hunting bad.
Just west of the duck fields are the snipe
and woodcock grounds in St. Mary parish
where a good hunter will pick off three
hundred and fifty snipe and one hundred an(
fifty woodcock a day. Both snipe aa(
weodcock are abundant just now, and Their
are some prairie chickens to be found also
The supply of these, of wild turkeys, deer
rabbits and other game is making good SOM
of the deficiency due to the lack of ducks.

Sweet and Sour.

Stepping into druggist store the ether day,
our attention was called to something new for the
cure of coughs and colds, which we were informed
was having wonderful success wherever tried.
The druggist explained to us the secret OF its re-
maskabe efficacy: The preparation is a com
pound of lactart the pure acid OF mill and honey,
its effectiveness is owing to the wonderful mu-
cus-dssolviHg of lactart, and the well known
soothing and healing qualities of honey. The com
bipatien of sweet and sour for the cure OF throat
in the lactart honey tie principle is found in
its most effective form. The taste of the new rem
edy is simply delightful and its curative effect is
testified to by the thousands who have tried and
are now using it, In climate like ours where
coughs and colds are so eternally prevalent, REM
edy such as Lactart and Honey is simply a nation
al boon Nothing better has ever been devised fo1
children Saws M F. A Blaisdell, of Boston: Il
desire to add my testimonial to the merits of Lac
tart ana Honey for coughs, colds, hoarseness and
sore throat 1t is q sovereign remedy, and no fam
iIy can with safety be without bottle of Lactart
and Honey in the house."

In a recent address as president of the
British Institution of Civil Engineers Ed
ward Woods stated that the locomotives of
fifty years ago contained the essential fea-
lures of those of to-day, the great improve
ments wrought having been in constructive
detail. The modern engines possess at least
four times as great steaming power, coupled
with sixfold weight. Compared with mod
ern locomotive the Planet type of 1882 to
1886 had weight of seven and one half tons
instead of fortyfve tons, fre-grate area of
square feet instead of 40 square feet, a
heating surface of 300 square feet instead of
400 square feet.

feel as hopeless about the solution of the
car-heating problem as he did. The New
York Central railroad company has decided
to try the system of heating passenger cars
by steam from the locomotive.
A recent decision of the patent examiner
at Washington deals with the word "Ratsl"
which is much used nowadays. An inventor
recently applied for an improvement on the
chestnut bell, by which, when the bell was
rung, the word ''Rats" would appear on the
surface and "paralyze" the user of the an
cient joke effectually. The examiner de-
cided that the word seRatsp' is not patenta-

Shipments of frozen mutton, says the
Buenos Ayres Standard, bave been SO fre-
quent of late, and some cargoes SO large, that
the market is beginning to pay attention to
the steady growth of this branch of River
Platte exports and to the prospect of its i'm
mense development at no distant date. The
exports of the FIRST nine months last year
amounted to 326, 900 carcasses, not including
30, 900 quarters.
The National Pure Food association can
and seems likely to do much needed work.
1t is an organization composed mainly of
business men, largely wholesale and retail
groce1s, the purpose of which is to prevent
the adulterations in food and drugs, but
more especially in food, and the means to be
taken to secure the object is the education of
the public sentiment through appeals to the
press, the pulpit, the platform and the public
schools. Success to its efforts
DIR. Rieglsr, of Pesth, is said to have just
made very curious experiment in pho
appear almost incredible. He has photo
graphed a bullet after it had been fred from
rifle and while it was proceeding with a
velocity of 44O metres-rather more than a
quarter of mile-a second. A Werndl in
fantry rifle was the weapon selected for the
purpose of conducting the experiment, which
was in every way successful, perfect repre-
duction of the bullet being the result.
One of the longshoremen lately on strike
in New York city says that having applied
for $40 from the relief fund of the Knights
of Labor, he received So on condition OF
signing receipt for $15. Two other stories
| to the same effect were told. One of them
was of a striker who had received $5 and
receipted for $40, and the other of man who
was asked to receipt for $50 in return for So.
These stories I&adicate that somebody is
| swindling the honest workingman, who is
willing to blindly follow such leader as
Quinn.
| The discussion of the woman suffrage bill
in the New York legislature had some queer

which was introduced provided that on and

petent to provide for partner, yet abstain

OVER in Eastern Pennsylvania
3 number of coal and iron opera
tors are clamoring for high tariff
and abusing the President, declar-
ing that if his recommendations
were carried out, it would bring the
working people of their district in
competition with the pauper labor
of Europe. 1t has just come out
that these same men have 1000
Belgian paupers on the way to this
country, whom they propose to put
into their mines to take the places
OF other workmen who ask for
enough money to give them SUBJ
sistence. It is about time that the
hypocrisy Of these land pirates be
exposed, and the system by which
they rule the workingmen and con-
sumer be broken up entirely. The
beat protection is to relieve the
people Of ofunnecessary taxation and
prevent the formation of "trusts,"
that are nothing more or less than
schemes of robbery.

The two bunko sharps, whose
real names prove to be Walter E..
Haines and Edward Scribner, who
some time since swindled a rich
old farmer of Pickaway county
named Sidney j. Ward out of $5, 900,
was arrested in Indiana few
days since by detective John Nor
ris, and brought to Circleville for
examination. They were. bound
over in $3.50 each for appearance to
at court. They were Immediately
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Norris charging them with grand
larceny committed in Sandusky
county, They were Immediately
hand-cu4ed, and started for San
dusky at 1880 Monday night.
During the examination at Cir
cleville q great surprise was occa-
stoned by the statement of detec-
tive Norris in his testimony that

to Ward by one Of the bunko men,
and which reads
